Learn how to make the little-known gem, Daikon Fukujinzuke, from Chef Masahiro Kasahara of 'Sanpu Ryōran'. This recipe lets you recreate the delicious restaurant-style dish at home, boasting a delightful crispy texture.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (Makes approx. 500g)

  • Daikon Radish 500g
  • Ginger 30g

Seasonings

  • [A] Soy Sauce 180cc
  • [A] Vinegar 60cc
  • [A] Sugar 120g

Steps

  1. Peel the skin thickly from the Daikon Radish and cut into 5mm thick, fan-shaped slices. (Key Tip!) Slicing with a knife creates a clean cut surface. The peeled skin can be used for dishes like kinpira.
  2. Peel and julienne the Ginger. (Key Tip!) It's recommended to peel tough ginger skin with a knife. The peeled skin can be used in soups.
  3. Combine 180cc Soy Sauce, 60cc Vinegar, and 120g Sugar in a pot and heat.
  4. Bring the liquid to a boil while dissolving the sugar, then reduce heat once boiling.
  5. Add the sliced Daikon Radish and Ginger to the boiling liquid, and bring back to a boil while loosening them. (Key Tip!) Adjust to low heat at the end to prevent scorching.
  6. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let it cool to room temperature (about 20-30 minutes).
  7. After cooling, remove only the Daikon Radish from the liquid. (Key Tip!) It's okay if some ginger remains. Use your observation skills to check every corner of the container.
  8. Return only the removed liquid to the pot and bring it to a boil.
  9. Once boiling, add the Daikon Radish back to the pot, along with the liquid, and bring to a boil again. (Key Tip!) By removing the daikon and re-boiling, the daikon will retain a fresh texture without becoming too soft like simmered stew.
  10. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  11. After cooling, remove only the Daikon Radish from the liquid.
  12. Return only the removed liquid to the pot and bring it to a boil.
  13. Once boiling, add the Daikon Radish back to the pot, along with the liquid, and bring to a boil again. (Key Tip!) Repeating this process three times will cook the daikon while reducing the pickling liquid, making it last longer.
  14. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let it cool to room temperature. It's then complete. (Key Tip!) Stores in the refrigerator for 1 week. When serving, giving it height will improve its presentation.
